PUMPKIN-CINNAMON SMOOTHIE

Ingredients:

1 cup of unsweetened almond milk

2 shots of espresso (if you’re not a coffee person, you can skip these)

3 pitless dates

¼ cup of canned pumpkin purée (you can also you a banana instead)

1 measuring scoop of protein (unflavored or vanilla)

Spices: ginger powder, cinnamon, clove powder, nutmeg

Ice

Let’s talk about the benefits of the main ingredients, so you know how soothing the smoothie is for your belly.

Dates hide an enormous vitamin fortune! This fruit is rich in calcium, copper, chlorine, iron, potassium and an essential acid, tryptophan. The last one changes into serotonin in the brain and provides long and wholesome sleep. On the other hand, dates also contain pantothenic acid (B5) – it takes care of our mental and physical state, gives body energy and vitality and even helps concentration. Such a combination, don’t you think?

Besides containing plenty of water, the flesh of a pumpkin is full of vitamin C and beta-carotene, which transforms into vitamin A in our system. This antioxidant, together with vitamin E, fights against cell damage by free radicals and prevents cancer. If you live in a city, foodstuffs rich in vitamin E are a great way how to get rid of toxins.

Cinnamon has calming effects, relaxes tension and stimulates blood circulation. It lowers respiratory problems and other rhythmical processes of our body. It also makes the skin nicer, is able to renew tissues and speeds up substance change. Cinnamon is often used again cellulite and special body wraps.

The method is very simple! Mix all ingredients together, decorate with cinnamon and serve! This recipe is perfect for breakfast but also any other part of the day.
